D A MacDougall Fencing Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Was just thinking about the pro and cons of diffrent post drivers and tracked post drivers . Don't no if it's been done at a show or something but it would be good to see diffrent tracked postdrivers operating in a course that puts them to the test. And postdriver working in the same ground condition . Basically let the machine speak for themselves without the hard sale. I think it would be a good day out and I might even pay for a ticket to watch ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tepapa Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 They wanted to try something similar "head to head" thing in NZ, but anything that may perceived as a race is a big no no for Health and Safety, as you shouldn't be racing with our type of heavy duty equipment. Machines working in the same conditions would be good to see, but you couldn't base the progress/quality on time/speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RED STAG Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 It would be interesting to see them in what I would call a more normal working environment up the side of a mountain with the tractor on a slope with the operator sat on the top side of the seat if he didn’t have an *** crack he would slide off. Along With a bit of hard shale to drive posts in and a few 10 foot strainers to get under the mast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ST61 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Think this is a great idea, thinking of buying a new one but which one Cant afford tracked model or top of the range tractor mounted ones as tractor not big enough for them Considering Wrag xl or Protech 300s would like to see them side by side Anything else in this range, or any comments on these models Sorry if i have hijacked thread, if so Admin repost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
